Grand Hustle/Atlantic recording artist, film star and hip-hop icon T.I. will participate in the upcoming Turn Up the Vote National Hip-Hop Summit at Temple University on Sunday, April 20 in Philadelphia, PA.
"I am pleased to have the opportunity to travel to Philadelphia to participate in the Hip-Hop Summit," said T.I. "We are going to encourage young people to go out to vote. I personally know the value of having the right to vote and it taken away from you, but I will add my voice to help inspire others to take seriously this right and responsibility."
The Turn Up the Vote National Hip-Hop Summit takes place two days before the Pennsylvania primary, April 22, and will educate young adults on the issues in the upcoming Presidential election. 2008 has been described as the "Year of the Youth Vote." Millions of 18 to 35-year-olds across America are being encouraged to go to the polls and vote in record numbers.
Additional confirmed panelists include: Jim Jones, Flo-Rida, Webbie, Lil Boosie, Rosci and Terrence J (hosts of BET’s "106 & Park"), Chrisette Michelle, Rich Boy, Styles P, Lyfe Jennings, Lil X, Green Lantern and Gorilla Zoe, among others.
